Microsoft report prompts Forrester policy change
Posted October 6, 7:33 a.m. Pacific Time

Forrester Research Inc. has changed its policy toward vendor-sponsored 
research following last month's publication of a controversial 
Microsoft Corp.-funded study that compared the cost of developing 
applications on Linux and Java to a Microsoft-based approach.

The policy change was announced in a letter written by George Colony, 
the CEO of the Cambridge, Massachusetts, company, and posted to the 
Forrester Web site late last week.
